Rob Beckett: Leicester Comedy Festival review
I'd be interested in seeing him on tour, once he's sieved out all the not-so-funny parts and put together a strong set using the laugh-out-loud funny material, that made an appearance on Tuesday night.
Yasmin Duffin, Leicester Mercury, 11th February 2015Rob Beckett interview
Comedian and host of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!'s ITV2 spin-off show, reveals he's too much of a "runny gob" to be trusted with the celebrity campmate list and while he loves the show isn't quite George of the Jungle yet.
Emma Daly, Radio Times, 9th November 2014Rob Beckett interview
Performing at the O2 was amazing. It's so ridiculous playing to 18,000 people.
Portsmouth News, 30th July 2014Lloyd Griffith interview
After his stint supporting the lovely Rob Beckett on his sold out UK tour, angelic-voiced Lloyd Griffith comes to Edfringe to performs his sexy debut show. Really brilliant jokes and some truly incredible singing from this choirboy turned comedian and heartthrob. Songs. Jokes. A sexy man. Bring your family.
The New Current, 22nd July 2014The Lloyd Griffith three minute interview
Fresh from supporting Rob Beckett on his sold out UK tour, angelic-voiced Lloyd Griffith performs his debut show at the Edinburgh Festival fringe. We can expect some 'really brilliant jokes' and some 'truly incredible singing' from this choirboy turned comedian and 'heartthrob'.
Martin Walker, Broadway Baby, 22nd July 2014In time for the low-hanging comedic fruit of England's World Cup campaign, a return for the standard mix of mock-incredulity at everyday minutiae, repeated plunges into well-thumbed stand-up routines and hefty helpings of "epic" banter. This second episode of this new series has series mainstays Dara O'Briain, Hugh Dennis and Andy Parsons being joined by Rob Beckett, Gary Delaney, Josh Widdicombe and Sara Pascoe, the last possibly pressured to prove she's there on merit rather than due to a dictum from the BBC Trust.
Mark Jones, The Guardian, 19th June 2014Rob Beckett interview
Rob Beckett began his career whilst working 9-5 for a company which books conference rooms.
Simon Meechan, Maidenhead Advertiser, 2nd March 2014Review: Rob Beckett at the Little Theatre, Leicester
A fresh-faced young man - blonde hair, big toothy grin - bounded on to the stage using the audience as his comedy. A new Ken Dodd, you might ask? Well, nearly.
Mary Rogers, Leicester Mercury, 17th February 2014This week's new live comedy
Previews of Jack Whitehall, Catriona Knox and Rob Beckett.
James Kettle, The Guardian, 15th February 2014Radio Times review
Picking someone out of the audience to help with your act can be hit and miss. But Nina Conti gets really lucky when she asks a person in the front row to be her new puppet. The woman she chooses is an absolute natural, although to give Conti her due, it's a very, very clever idea.
She's followed by Jimeoin, who does such a spot-on impersonation of a catwalk model he could do it for a living if the comedy didn't work out. Then sarf-Londoner Rob Beckett takes to the stage with some nice observations on his childhood. But it's Conti and her new assistant who steal the show.
